PRINTING FROM XP

[John Koenig]

Thank you to all that responded. As I am not on a network it appears that 
putting
"WIN: HP LaserJet 4L " in the destination file worked. Of course since I 
was involved it was not as easy as all that because at my age when I looked 
at the printers section it appeared that there was a space between Laser 
and Jet when there was not....Panic...., but a nights rest solved that problem.

I also followed the suggestion  to download drivers for the HP printer from 
HP instead of relying on the drivers that came with XP. Must be my 
imagination, but that seemed to improve things even when I didn't have the 
destination file defined correctly! I guess that shows the calming 
influence of knowing that there are kind people willing to help.

I intend to check out Jose Lerebours advice as to setting up the printer in 
a network shortly and appreciated his advice telling me how to find my 
computers name. To think I have been working with computers for a number of 
years without knowing their names!

Thanks again!
